A step in the right direction, but I'm skeptical of it going anywhere. We'll see.

You know something interesting? This has happened before, in 1981.

https://www.nytimes.com/1981/03/22/us/women-join-battle-on-all-male-draft.html
The case against the all-male military draft was brought by men on the ground that being singled out for compulsory service violated their rights to equal protection. But a number of women's groups have filed briefs with the Supreme Court arguing that the all-male draft also violates the constitutional rights of women.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday in the Federal Government's appeal from a lower court decision that struck down the renewal of draft registration last July. A special three-judge Federal District Court in Philadelphia, ruling that the all-male registration program unconstitutionally discriminated against men, said that Congress must either include women or forgo the option of a draft entirely.

I guess it's obvious how the Supreme Court ruled.

This is Deja Vu all over again, and nothing has changed.

Pregnancy would raise dramatically, if we decided to draft women.
